LONDON, Oct. 12.-The report circu-
lated in Paris last night that Gen.
COmte D'Andlau had committed suicide
in consequence of developments of the
Caffarel scandal, having shown that he
was to some extent compromised cannot
be confirmed and it is generally discred
tied. 1t is believed, however, that he
had left the country, but nothing definite
as to his whereabouts can be learned.
The story that he is in Belgium finds
many believers, but the additional state
ment that he is there merely for pur-
poses of avoiding imprisonmentp pending
his trial and will return and defend him
self against the charges at the proper
time is now here accepted as true. AL
though the police are, as far as possible,
SuppresSing the revelations of this un-
fortunate business, on purely political
grounds, as they allege, it is pretty
we'll known that further arrests
will shortly be made, and that the pris
OnerS will include persons high in Off
cial and social life, who have not hith-
erto been suspected OF connection with
the affair. The guilt of Gen. Caffarel,
WIFI w lliC pan vi
found among his effects. and obviously
furnished by him to the Figaro, is con-
ceded, and even if he were not con-
cerned IN the traffic in decorations his
manifest treachery in divulging war
Office secrets would insure his severe
punishment. All France is shocked at
the seeming depravity of army officials,
and the papers are teeming with indig-
nant articles, but the German press
scarcely notices the affair now, and the
few references made to it dismiss the
matter with contempt.
A DEPUTATION
of unemployed wOrkingmen waited On
Justice Ingham at the Bow street police
court to-day and informed him that they
desired to be imprisoned as disturberS
of the peace, rather than to be COM
PEELED to go to the work house as paup-
ers. Justice Ingham, after a brief par
ley with the deputatiOn, said: "YOu
don't deserve cOmpasSiOn: leave the
court" The deputation withdrew and
forming again in procession marched to
the Mansion house, accompanied by
strong force of police. The lord mayor
refused to receive them and they were
forced to retire. shouting their fenun-
Citations of turtle-fed officials and deS-
potic capitalists.
In spite of the reported death of
AyOub Khan the Ameer is making
ENORMOUS PREPARATIONS
for the de fense of Herat and it is
no stock in the stories of the demise of
the formidable pretender to the throne
at CObul. Whether Ayoub is dead or
not the ameer is not making his war
like preparations in vain, as the coun-
try about Herat, and even that strong
hold itself, ARE SWarming with Russians,
and it is surmised that the Herat garri-
son is strongly tainted with Russian
views and sympathies.
The death of Lady Brassey has crea-
ted profound sensation. All of the
afternoon papers devoted large
amount of space to her obituary notices,
and her sunbeam papers were freely
quoted, many of the writer's discovering
merits in the lady's literary work not
hitherto noticed by any critic or re-
view.
John Morley denies that his recent
visit to Howarden had any political sig
nificance beyond that of consulting
with the other Liberal leaders as to the
programme to be carried out at the
Nottingham caucus.

John Kiusella, near ArklOw, fortnight
ago. resulted to-day in a verdict of
murder against Capt. Hamilton, the
cOhstables under his charge and the bail
ifs they were eScorting.
A Noted Woman Dead.
